What we do

We are a group of people concerned to develop an alternative to suburban nuclear families
living with its particular pressures and limitations. Many of us are discontented with the
noise, foul air, water and food of the city, with our polluted environment. We are concerned
to get away from the overcrowding of city life. Others are particularly concerned about the
isolation and loneliness of suburban living, its increasingly high cost, the narrowness of the
isolated nuclear family, the lack of community facilities and co-operative living. We regret
the superficiality of our human relationships within the suburban street, living near
neighbours we didn’t choose, the isolation of the non-working wife and the lack of
continuous playmates for the children. Others primarily concerned with education are
dissatisfied with the alienation between learning and living as well as with the forms and
content of education. They see our intended community as an educational community: a
community that finds life and richness in the pursuit of individual and community
development.
We plan to create a community education environment, a centre for learning how to live.
We seek to create a learning environment that facilitates full realisation of the members
potential, a centre that involves people of all ages, where learning is throughout life and
integrated within one’s living situation. We base our learning on our environment and the
people with whom we live.

Healing Love Healing Money: Trust As The Foundation For A New Culture

Money, love and power are among the hardest things any community works with, and many of us carry the same fears into both: not having enough, losing what we have, and the sense that if someone else gets money or love, we won’t. Healing Love, Healing Money: Trust as the Foundation for a New Culture is taught by two intentional communities. Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle are from Clear Sky Meditation and Retreat Center, a Buddhist-lineage community in the BC Rockies. Monika Alleweldt and Benjamin von Mendelssohn from Tamera Healing Biotope, a community of about 160 people in southern Portugal that has spent decades studying love, trust and relationship. Clear Sky has spent years working on its relationship with money, and our two communities found surprising parallels in the fears beneath both. Over four sessions we explore the roots of fear around money and belonging, love, possession and power, trust as infrastructure (community as a container for healing), and ethical livelihood. We use short meditations, body-based practices, reflection and small-group conversation. You do not need to be in a romantic relationship or live in community. When: October 27, Nov 3, 10, 17. All four sessions: 12–2pm Vancouver, 1–3pm Alberta, 7–9pm UK and Portugal, 8–10pm Central Europe. Note: US and some Canadian provinces change clocks on November 1, so the US west coast is 12–2pm on October 27, then 11am–1pm for the remaining sessions, and Eastern is 3–5pm on October 27, then 2–4pm for the rest. Cost: sliding scale Details and registration: https://www.clearskycenter.org/event/healing-love-healing-money-online/
